id argue that if I am willing to wear my epics offline throughout the day and night, I deserve to receive what gain I would. Why should I be penalized because someone such as yourself is not willing to risk it, while I am. It is not as if I knew when the game was going to crash, so I was willing to make that risk even before the game went down. In comparison to you, who was not willing to take that risk.
As for when they used to give us reserve stamina in lumps of 500, or 1,000. This was before the massive amounts of epics in the game. I would argue that is why the change in reserve stamina allocation occurred.
